We started sanding on Sunday. It was a lovely sunny day. As an aside, there was a very strange tidal surge: the tide was just beginning to ebb - maybe about 15 minutes into it, when two or three surges came though - about 3 inches each. It was enough to put the boardwalk under water. There's been a few earthquakes lately so am putting it down to that. No shipping was around at the time and it was a dead calm day. It was kind of spooky.

Shemara is old but has good bones. Most of the work is in replacing corroded bits and pieces and prettying her up a little at a time. This blog might be of interest or it may not, mostly it is a record of work done and trips. It will be picture –heavy.
